Love and Hate Scale

[valkorum]

Glassy is actually an elite midfielder but the AFL made us play him at FB to keep the competition fair :-\

Bahahahahaha - if the nominations weren't closed I would nominate this for the The Trevor Marmalade Award

[elephants]

Always next year!

[Ziplock]

The voting for this award closed on Tuesday night.

[Ziplock]

that's the 2013 nomination :P

since we always forget/ lose so much gold during the year, I thought it would be best to keep a running nomination record :P

Crowley is a terrific tagger, but one dimensional. The best taggers do positive play as well as negative (reckon Scooter Selwood was terrific this year, and of course Ling and Kirk).

Yet Crowley kicked 12 goals and Selwood kicked 11

I guess... At least he's effective. 12 goals from the 14 kicks he got for the year isn't to bad.

Dangerfield- I'm not sure, but he nly got 65 points in DT, so couldn't have been too amazing.

not everything is about the stats- I cbf looking up selwoods, but crowley did an amazing job nullifying some of the best players in the comp.
who actually beat crowley- watson, horsley, beams,

[valkorum]

Pretty sure Crowley played on Stanton against the Bombers and not Watson.

Selwood is the better playing from a midfielder point of view but Crowley is clearer the better tagger -- which is what I said in the first place.

[Ziplock]

I was just going off montys records :P

I guess it depends on what you value more- a solid mid, or a gun tagger?

[Ricochet]

and depends on the rest of your team structure i guess

[ossie85]

I like to think about it in cricket terms. The best wicketkeeper doesn't get selected anymore in international cricket, only the best wicketkeeper batsmen. Crowley's a wicketkeeper that bats at #10, but he does it well.

[Ziplock]

Cricket and AFL are close to as different as two sports can get. It's like picking up a watermelon and saying 'this is a fruit. A banana is also a fruit. Therefore a banana must weight over 1kg and be round.'

If anologies had to the exact same thing, they wouldn't be analogies?

(And I think you're after 'like comparing apples and oranges' ;) )

[Ziplock]

nope, I really specifically stayed away from apples and oranges.

apples and oranges are actually quite similar- roughly the same size, roughly the same shape, grow on trees, absorb light at similar frequencies, have approximately the same sized pips etc.

bananas and watermelons are far better.
